Ezekiel 23:36-49

36Jehovah saidH559 moreover unto me: SonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 OholahH170 and OholibahH172? then declareH5046 unto them their abominationsH8441. 37For they have committedH5003 adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027; and with their idolsH1544 have they committedH5003 adulteryH5003; and they have alsoH1571 caused their sonsH1121, whom they bare unto me, to passH5674 through the fire unto them to be devoured. 38Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676. 39For when they had slain their children to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thusH3541 have they done in the midstH8432 of my houseH1004. 40And furthermore ye have sentH7971 for menH376 that comeH935 from far, unto whom a messengerH4397 was sentH7971, and, lo, they cameH935; for whom thou didst washH7364 thyself, paint thine eyesH5869, and deck thyself with ornamentsH5716, 41and sitH3427 upon a stately bedH4296, with a tableH7979 prepared before it, whereupon thou didst setH7760 mine incenseH7004 and mine oilH8081. 42And the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 was with her: and with menH376 of the common sort were broughtH935 drunkardsH5433 from the wildernessH4057; and they putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon the handsH3027 of them twain, and beautiful crownsH5850 upon their headsH7218.

43Then saidH559 I of her that was old in adulteriesH5004, NowH6258 will they playH2181 the harlot with her, and she with them. 44And they wentH935 in unto her, as they goH935 in unto a harlot: soH3651 wentH935 they in unto OholahH170 and unto OholibahH172, the lewd womenH802. 45And righteousH6662 menH376, they shall judgeH8199 them with the judgmentH4941 of adulteresses, and with the judgmentH4941 of women that shedH8210 bloodH1818; because they are adulteresses, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027. 46For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: I will bringH5927 up a companyH6951 against them, and will giveH5414 them to be tossed to and fro and robbed. 47And the companyH6951 shall stoneH68 them with stonesH68, and despatch them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burnH8313 up their housesH1004 with fireH784. 48Thus will I cause lewdness to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776, that all womenH802 may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 49And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bearH5375 the sinsH2399 of your idolsH1544; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 Jehovah.
